n octopus propels itself through the water by ejecting water through a funnel in its body. How does this demonstrate Newton’s third law?(1 point)
Responses
When the octopus ejects the water out, the water acts with an equal force on the octopus in the same direction.
When the octopus ejects the water out, the water acts with an equal force on the octopus in the same direction.
When the octopus ejects the water out, the water acts with an equal force on the surrounding water in the opposite direction.
When the octopus ejects the water out, the water acts with an equal force on the surrounding water in the opposite direction.

When the octopus ejects water through the funnel in its body, the water acts with an equal force on the surrounding water in the opposite direction. This is an example of Newton's Third Law, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, the action is the octopus ejecting water through the funnel, and the reaction is the water pushing back with an equal force in the opposite direction. This allows the octopus to propel itself forward through the water.
The correct response is:
When the octopus ejects the water out, the water acts with an equal force on the octopus in the opposite direction.
